The brochure titled “ומקדשי תיראו” (“You shall revere my Sanctuary”) addresses basic yet fundamental Hanhagos and Halachos concerning proper conduct in Shul. Aimed at a Lubavitch audience, the brochure describes the vital need for proper decorum in Shul during prayer, citing brief but pointed statements from Gemara, Shulchan Aruch, and the often passionate words of the Rebbes of Lubavitch.

Respect the Shul!
Since Shavuos, Anash communities across the world have been exposed to a new educational brochure. A group of concerned Chassidim has seen the need to raise the level of Lubavitch community awareness of proper conduct during Davening and have published a new color brochure and had it circulated amongst Lubavitch communities worldwide.

I do think that this sign should be distributed to all Shulls including here in Crown Heights

beautiful!
Impressed
Very glad to see it was not just me bothered by this issue. I was worried where I could take my son to Daven and not be exposed to double standards. It is sad for me to see even ‘respectable’ Anash talking on the phone, to friends, in middle of Kaddish- and yes- even in middle of Shmone Esrai!
How can I get this in print for my shul?
Concerned...
cowardice and inapropriate:
First of all:
If the person publishing it feels so strongly about it, why is he so afraid to put his name on it and not some abiguous gmail?
Second:
Why does he need to use a picture of the Rebbe to endorse simpy Shluchan Oruch?
Third:
A notice going out targeting Anash audiences should not be in English! What have we come to??!! Do you think in Lubavitch Russian pamphlets were spread around the Zal?! Our publications must endevour to be in the two languages that our rebbeim endorsed and encouraged for chassidim to use: Yiddish and Loshon Kodesh (not to be mistaken with the tziyoni version.

To Concerned:
Why would it be necessary for the person that published this to put his name on it? Its a brochure, not a letter.
As far as the language is concerned, this HAS been printed in Hebrew as well as English, and the English is important so it can be understood by all that this is an important issue which has seemingly been ignored. It is widespread and in some cases causes a big Chilul Lubavitch and Chilul Hashem.
It seems as though you are writing with some sour grapes in your mouth.

Just out of curiosty, what language did you write that comment in?

This brochure was definitely not printed by a real Lubavitcher
There is not one positive word in the whole brochure. It is all about the negative part, instead of focusing on the positive side of what happens if you are quiet.

Concerned – you make me laugh. It’s exactly because of people like you we have so much trouble around the community. Wake up and smell the coffee. Some is trying to do GOOD here! And if your not sure the definition of GOOD check it up (in English).
myself
what language do you think the message has to be written out in? you think maybe the people who its being written to need it to be in hebrew or english? if we are in an english speaking country then we need it to be in english because alot of people only understand english!!!
the real thing
B”H
The brochure was very well written.
As to the comment by BAB that the article was not written by a real Lubavitcher I guess the Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe are not real Lubavitchers in BAB’s mind.

In response to some of your comments about my previous comment:
If you beleive in something – if you believe in what your are doing, don’t be ashamed of it. Be proud and put your name on what you are publishing.
As to the comment from “myself” advocating the need for the panphlet to be in English due to the audience.
You are missing the point. The reason there is an English speaking audience in Lubavitch (unlike any other chassidus) is because we (stupidly) cater for them.
Lubavtich is not some modern orthodox movement. We do not change simply to adapt to our surroundings! Shumu Shomayim!! We are a chassidus and we dictate the way in whihc we live according to tradition not according to whats easy and whats cool
notice the Rebbe never gave a sicha in English regardless of the crowd.
men darf zich halten vi an ernstn chassidishn gezleshaft az lo niyhe kelaag vokeles tzvishin alle andere kreizen.

I wish to clarify:I do not argue over the importance of quiet during davening. I simply comment about the way it has been presented here.

“I guess the Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe are not real Lubavitchers…”
The A“R was called ”the Litvak“ during his lifetime as he lived and taught in Lita for much of his life. The M”R grew up and matured in those environments and only became Rov of a town called “Lubavitch” later in life. So, yes, neither was a “real Lubavitcher”; the first would have been the Tzemach Tzedek.
Re: the brochure. I agree with you that it is long overdue that such a work was published in our communities.
